Milk Breast Donating

Interesting, but I wonder how many people will actually go for such a product over the items already available and considered 'good enough' as a replacement to regular breast milk let alone a refined marketable one?

Donating Breast Milk Reviews Consumer & Travel Family Culture

I think it is a good idea in theory, but these silly people are going do two things that will destroy a system that is already in place:

1. Buy the milk from places where it was usually donated, and then destroy most of its healthy properties by pasteurizing it like cow's milk. What idiot thought that up?

2. Sell it back to hospitals.

Okay, weren't the hospitals already getting donations from the milk banks?

QUOTE
And the firm wants to analyse the different components of breast milk - there are more than 100,000 although scientists only know what a few thousand do - to see if breast milk therapies can treat disease common to newborn babies.


It's about time that there is some research into what is in breast milk, but at what expense? I think this company has it all backwards.
